Menzer opponent named

Universum’s unbeaten WBC, WBO and WIBF female featherweight world champion Ina Menzer (26-0, 10 KOs) will defend her titles against Jeannine Garside (9-3-1, 4 KOs) on the July 3 Universum card in Stuttgart, Germany. Menzer bristles over the fact that in one independent ranking Garside is rated above her. “I’ve recently had the toughest opponents that you can imagine, twice Esther Schouten, then Ramona Kuehne – and I was still only the #2. This has annoyed me. Now I’ll change this myself with my fists.” Universum VP Dietmar Poszwa added, “Great that the bout is against Jeannine. This will be the fight of fights in the featherweight division.”
